Over 30 years of retirement, Newman would collect as much as $2.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Newman received $56,488 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Newman will have already received $114,671 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
